Python Versions License: MIT Tests
Postmark Python SDK

The official (Beta) Python SDK for Postmark — send emails, manage bounces, templates, webhooks, and more.

For tutorials and detailed usage, check out the wiki.

For details about the Postmark API in general, see the Postmark developer docs.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+

Installation

Install from PyPI as postmark-python (the Python package you import is still postmark):

pip install postmark-python

Quick Start

The SDK is async-first — all API calls return awaitables. As of v0.3.0, a synchronous wrapper is also available for use in non-async contexts.

Async:

import asyncio
import os

import postmark

# Tokens are read from the environment here. Optionally: pip install python-dotenv,
# then use load_dotenv() to populate os.environ from a .env file.


async def main():
    async with postmark.ServerClient(os.environ["POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN"]) as client:
        response = await client.outbound.send(
            {
                "sender": "sender@example.com",
                "to": "recipient@example.com",
                "subject": "Hello from Postmark",
                "text_body": "Sent with the Postmark Python SDK.",
            }
        )
        print(f"Sent: {response.message_id}")


asyncio.run(main())

Sync (v0.3.0+):

import os

import postmark.sync

with postmark.sync.ServerClient(os.environ["POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN"]) as client:
    response = client.outbound.send(
        {
            "sender": "sender@example.com",
            "to": "recipient@example.com",
            "subject": "Hello from Postmark",
            "text_body": "Sent with the Postmark Python SDK.",
        }
    )
    print(f"Sent: {response.message_id}")

Why sender, not from? from is a reserved keyword in Python, so the SDK uses sender for the sending address. Everything else matches the Postmark API field names directly.

Two Client Types

Client Token Use for
ServerClient Server API token Sending email, bounces, templates, stats, webhooks, streams
AccountClient Account API token Domains, sender signatures, managing servers, data removals
import postmark

# Use as async context managers to ensure connections are closed
async with postmark.ServerClient(os.environ["POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN"]) as client:
    ...

async with postmark.AccountClient(os.environ["POSTMARK_ACCOUNT_TOKEN"]) as account:
    ...

# Or call close() explicitly when done
client = postmark.ServerClient(os.environ["POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN"])
await client.close()
